Color Guard
Cultivating the skills and opportunities necessary to thrive at any level.
Color guard is a year-long performance group. Students develop technical ability and skills using flags, sabers, and rifles, as well as dance and other interpretive movement. During the fall season, GCA Color Guard has the opportunity to perform with the Marching Rams, GCA cheer team, and GCA pom team under the Friday night lights. During the spring season, the Winter Guard learns their own routine and performs at indoor competitions. No experience is required to join the Color Guard. If you're looking for a fun activity and want to meet some new people, come and check us out!
